"Mere ideals are the cheapest things in life. The more ideals a man has the more contemptible he is if the matter ends there, if there is no courage shown, no privations undergone, no scars contracted in the effort to get them realized." William James

And So...

And so the new site is almost completed. I imagine I'll upload it to the web sometime towards the end of the month. When I do I'll post a link to it here. I have another writer on board to write with me and am trying to convince one more so it won't be all T.F. this time around, which coincidentally should make it much better.

Can't wait to hear from you and your new blog partner(s)! Thanks for all the work you are putting into this along with your studies. Sometimes we just have to wait for good things...and so we will wait....patiently. :) In the mean time we will continue reading and gathering all the information we can from the other great military bloggers. Will keep checking this site regularly.A&N

I just came across your blog, and I have to say I'm very intrigued by what I've read so far. I especially appreciated the story "Little Things Can Mean A Lot" (from Michael Yon's site). Thanks for the insights, I'm sick of the negative views on the war and I get frustrated with those who don't know what they are talking about. A Sergeant's story holds a lot more validity for me. Thanks.

I was wondering, would you possibly be up for answering a few questions regarding your time in Iraq? I am writing my senior thesis/final research paper on a related topic, and it could add weight having first hand account as well. I understand having a hectic schedule though - especially so close to graduation, so just let me know if that could be a possibility. Thanks!

BTW, has the military attempted to censor your blog recently? On my blog (http://blogresponder.blogspot.com)I wrote a piece on Bill Maher, and a commentor insists that anything blogged by soldiers now has to be approved by higher ups. Say it ain't so!!

About Me

This blog contains the archived posts from my second deployment to Iraq with the army. Since returning home in late 2006 I started a new website that can be found at www.voxveterana.com. Stop by and visit the new site and read the posts here in your spare time.
